VPN

My brother Pete is in the process of moving to London (the cool one in England, though I'm sure the London in Kentucky is lovely.)

He wants to be able to still watch videos via Hulu, we want to be able to watch shows from the BBC. But each of them block, Hulu only is available from the US and BBC only from the UK.

Thanks to the upgrades at dd-wrt.com we both now have VPN servers on our routers. So we'll connect across the Atlantic Ocean to watch TV through the other's local Internet connections :) Very cool--and I'll use it from free WiFi places too, encrypted and much more secure.
